users care about the certainty of many guarantees offered by blockchains ("you control these funds", "this app can't steal your username"), and decentralization (of different kinds) is part of what makes those guarantees hard

Blockchains thrive on trust built through certainty and transparency. Decentralization strengthens this foundation, making promises like user control and security not just achievable, but reliable in a digital world.
